🔄 How to apt install the latest herdr

Once the repository is added there is no separate "install latest" command — apt already resolves to the newest version this repository serves, and that is rebuilt within hours of every upstream herdr release. To move an existing install up to the latest version:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade herdr

apt update && apt install --only-upgrade herdr

Or upgrade everything on the machine at once with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. To see which version you would get before installing, run apt policy herdr.

❓ Common questions

Does apt-get install herdr work too?

Yes. apt and apt-get read the same sources, so sudo apt-get install herdr is equivalent. apt is the friendlier front-end; apt-get is the stable one to prefer inside scripts.

Why doesn't apt install herdr work out of the box?

herdr is not packaged in the official Debian or Ubuntu archives, so a stock system has nothing to install and apt install herdr fails with "Unable to locate package". Adding this repository gives apt a source that carries herdr and keeps it current.

Which Debian and Ubuntu releases are supported?

Every currently supported release listed in the table above. The $(lsb_release -sc) in the setup command picks the right suite for the machine you run it on, so the same three lines work everywhere.

Is this repository trustworthy?

It's an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream herdr releases, the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/herdr-debian, and the whole archive is GPG-signed. Several upstream projects link to it from their official installation docs.
